To keep the beat for artists like Jason Aldean, Rich Redmond needs a solid, consistent stick. That’s why he worked with Promark to develop his ActiveGrip 595, designed with extra beef for pocket players who demand a strong back beat.

Mike Portnoy developed the classic 420 for progressive styles. But to play with bands like Winery Dogs, Twisted Sister and Metal Allegiance, he needs a stick that’s made for heavier playing. So he worked with Promark to design the ActiveGrip 420X to add more power and control to his arsenal.

After 16 years using Promark, Wilco’s Glenn Kotche wanted a stick that catered to his versatility, while helping him to relax his grip. So he teamed up with Promark to make his signature Active Wave 570, designed with a contoured handle for better control.

“ActiveGrip is key for me since I sweat a lot when I play. I found years ago that I was gripping my sticks too tightly. This stick allows me to loosen up and find more control the hotter I get.”-Glenn Kotche
